Mauro Braunstein

Mauro is studying astroclimatology (an impressive-sounding
word he made up himself) to become a composer. He also plays some instruments in the MIT
Wind Ensemble, including electric kazoo, and stays up very late doing
problem sets that would have been better done in a time
otherwise spent playing videogames and procrastinating on
political blogs. He likes music of all kinds, especially
videogame music, Brazilian music (he is actually from Rio de Janeiro,
RJ and claims, dubiously, to be Sephardic), Jewish music, wind
ensemble music, his own music, Bach keyboard music, new music, and showtunes.
He is also a math nerd who actually enjoys symbol-pushing.
